Description

The MBTI, short for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, draws up 16 types that each of us can belong to, according to our preferred functions.

For Skeptics

Many dismiss MBTI with unsubstantiated claims. However MBTI and Jungian theories are the most useful tools for seeing how people construct and perceive their world. Check here for more.

The MBTI sorts for type and each type has a specific function order. Additionally, every type uses all four types of functions, Intuition, Sensing, Thinking, and Feeling. Your type however determines the order and attitude of these functions.

Other Personality Tests

The Enneagram categorises human personality into nine types. It's the work of Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. While MBTI measures the how we perceive our world and make decisions, Enneagram describes why we do what we do, relating to our innermost motivations, fears and desires. In combination with MBTI enneagram is a potent tool for understanding yourself and others. Enneagram's subreddit is here /r/enneagram.

Socionics was developed primarily by the Lithuanian researcher Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, an economist, sociologist, psychologist. Socionics is quite similar to MBTI but has some slightly difference nuances. It adds focus to intertype relations and analysis of functions. MBTI and Socionics are both derived from Carl Jung, but are slightly different in their presentation.

Socionics types are the same to their MBTI counterparts. However, there is a discrepancy with introverts. If you are for example an INTJ in MBTI, you will be an INTp in socionics.

I have moved forward with the MBTI Network idea I proposed here several days ago. A working example of what a networked subreddit will look like is available at /r/ESFJ. Obviously, using a header image will work best so that the menu does not cover up the Reddit logo in your header.

Below I have included instructions for mods to add their subreddit to the network. Special thanks and shout out to /u/psYberspRe4Dd, Redditor extraordinaire, for putting this code together.

I have messaged the mods of each MBTI type subreddit with these instructions as well. If any of them need help, feel free to mod me and I'll take care of everything.

Thanks all! Looking forward to building these subs as time goes on.

Get this in the sidebar (EDIT: MUST BE ABOVE ALL OTHER SIDEBAR CONTENT): (don't worry it won't actually show up in the sidebar after you complete step 2.)

Agreed. It's funny how some subreddits like /r/estp and /r/esfj have already done this, and they have 2-3 posts each. Meanwhile /r/intp, which is rather big has almost nothing done in terms of sidebar or networking. Very telling of our types.

Note that it would eventually be better if you'd use a banner so there's more space for the menu. If you don't want a banner you could use a transparent pic for making more space there. Also http://tiny.cc/yourlink needs to be replaced with a browse all link for the sub in case you want to use this (I didn't know what you want in the network-menu)
